    And the Marlins broadcasters are fucking awesome on that blown call. Absolutely hilarious.

    Ha, heard both calls today. Marlins were so fucking pissed and McCarthy was like "I think that curved around the bag" he is the biggest fucking homer in the world.

    Him and Wheels are absolutely fucking brutal. And it's getting worse and worse with every game. Even my dad, who doesn't even care about that shit, is being pushed to his break point.

    I wish there was some way of getting the radio broadcasters on my tv - it'd be great if HD TV's had radio tuners built in, and were also synched up.

    I tried doing this a while ago with the MLB radio app on my phone when I had the away announcers on Extra Innings. The timing was off. I have tried it with a radio before as well and that was also off.

    They are horrible.

    I guess because Dutch is being inducted into the Phils Wall of Fame that they're not going to acknowledge how crazy he is. Dude is a loon.

    EDIT: HA! He's talking about it right now! Fucking hilarious. Still crazy though.

    I met Ricky Bo in the parking lot night 4 at the spectrum. I asked him about dalton,he said he's crazy and there not friends at all. Kinda funny that he has to be nice on tv and talk nice when he can't stand the guy.
    Go Birds!!!!

    I honestly got real excited when Parnell came into the game. Seems like the Phils really love hitting that guy. Awesome rally!

    So, this is ridiculous - you bring in Baez in the 9th to get his confidence back. Then he gets 2 outs, and gives up a hit and a bleeder down the line. Then you take him out and put in GNC Man. Way to get his confidence back! Just let the guy finish the damn inning.

    Good shit. I was thinking that was going to be our plan but just wanted to make sure. I have heard it is a great time. Thanks, man. Haha, going to be pretty funny when I tell them we are going to watch fights in North Philly. We will be good though. Thanks again.

    Thats pretty sweet you met him there. He is one rough looking dude.

    Yeah, the subway pretty much drops you off right there so you'll be good.

    You can just feel the decades and decades of fights in there. We got seats in the balcony, which were like 50 bucks, and you're literally right over the action sitting in on these rickity wooden benches. Also, they don't have A/C, so you're gonna get the full experience sitting there sweating your balls off.

    That's fucking awesome. The pictures I have seen of it look awesome. Like you said, the balcony looks like it's right on top of the ring. Seems like a real old school boxing venue. I read a while back it has a shit load of history. I have been wanting to do it for a while and this is perfect. These guys will fucking love it.

    Is it north of Temple? Edit: looks like it's just south of it at Girard

    I lived in florida for a little bit. their announcers are MLB top 5 in my book.

    that call was great (and accurate)...those guys are awesome. tommy hutton is an ex-phil.

    best part of dutch being inducted was that I got an extra half hour in the parking lot.

    the fact that he's inducted into their HOF speaks volumes. whatever, this teams history should start in 2006

    I was so pissed when this happened. baez was fine. he sawed a dude off and manuel took him out to bring in romero (to face what he had to know was gonna be a RH pinch hitter!!!!!!!!!!!)

    I can't stand manuel. I think he sucks

    least your manuel knows how to manage. why jerry manuel took out niese for parnell is beyond me. parnell got fucking rocked in his last pitching appearance. who gives a shit if niese has got 112 pitches through 7 innings.

    enjoy the sweep phils fan

    thank fuck spike tv is showing the ufc 117 prelims today
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight

    funny, my best friend from college lives on long island...HUGE mets fan. when charlie took baez out (before the fucking hessman HR), I told him he had the better manuel manager.

    his response was 'fuck you, the mets suck'

    haha, he won

    he's awesome. it really sucked going to school with all mets/yanks fans though...late 90's/early 00's. not a good time to be a phillies fan.

    the full moon is dead skin

    I'm such an idiot for not going to a school like that. Or maybe I was just broke. Oh well.

    Yeah, Niese was cruising last night. Jerry definitely should've left him in. I always thought that guy was in over his head.

    I'm giving props where they're due. Acquiring Sweeney is a Gillick type move, and Amaro is due some acknowledgement.
